Here's a picture of the sidecar almost attached. What do you think?




Sidecar was imported from Iraq after Desert Storm. It's got a bullet-hole in the hood. It's a flip-nose for easy entry.

More pictures to come as the project progresses.
An XT with a side car???

That is neat! Who will be the brave soul that rides in the side car?

Hi Guys,

Can we have close ups of the mounts please? Particularly the front upper.


I am in the bush in OZ and want to do a XT600 with a Royal Enfield sidecar.
Any help is welcome?

Cheers
Mito

Don't know if the 750 frame is so much different; I have a 1993 750 super Ténéré with sidecar, and drove in june 2010 from Holland to Mongolia. Hope pictures will help you!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
